Transferring Lua Projects from Calc to Computer [Solved]
« on: May 14, 2012, 09:31:03 pm »
I've kinda asked about this before, but I never really found an easy way that works right now (notepad is in the future  :().

So what would be the easiest way to transfer a Lua project started on the Nspire to the computer?

P.S. I have TiLP and nspire_emu, no Student Software.

Edit: Solved! :D
Spoiler For "My (long) method":
Current method to put Lua file from Calc to Comp.
1. Install ndless.
2. Use TNS2XML by excale to turn TI-Notepad document into two .xml files. http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9295&p=124483
3. Send the problem.xml to your computer.
4. Use http://bwns.be/jim/xml2lua.html to delete extra stuff.
5. Add newlines and check for correct code
6. Done!

What you'd like to do is to retrieve the Lua source for a TNS, right ?

It's not the most easy thing to do if you don't have the student software. You need TI's code (for now) to unencrypt the document.
This can be in nspire_emu, the student software, or the online document player. If you are on windows/mac, try to see if you can copy your source with the online document player.

I think he meant from ocLua to a proper .lua file on the computer ?

Then just save the source inside a Notes app for example and grab the .tns from your computer.

Then you have several choices :
- simply use TINCS (which you don't have so I'm not gonna explain)
- load it onto nspire_emu and dump the memory
- post the .tns here so we can extract it for you :P

if you don't have the ti-software, you can download the trial here:
http://education.ti.com/html/nspire/te.html
as you can see it is the teacher edition, it has 90 days trial, while the student soft has 30 days trial
a plus time to experiment
I hope this can help you

I have it typed up in a notes file on the calculator, which I can send around as a tns. I just want to get the source out of there.

It's not the most easy thing to do if you don't have the student software. You need TI's code (for now) to unencrypt the document.

The online document player is pretty cool! Except I still can't copy code out of there...

- How would you do that?
- That's a little inconvenient...

I've already used that for a while, so I can't get trial software back again. I actually have the disk that came with the Nspire, but it's refusing to work.

*Bump*
Could somebody explain how to dump the nspire_emu memory?

Thanks

It's possible within the debug commands I think, but people like Lionel/goplat/Excale/Levak etc. could tell you more.

Here is the working scripted dumper for TI-Nspire basic 3.0.1
You'll need to wait a bit so  that I'll search for the other addresses (OS dependant)

Ok Thanks. So basically, all I do is put it in a bash file and then run it after I launch my document in nspire_emu?

Um ok. TNS2XML sounds interesting.

Thanks! That's pretty cool. So now I have the XML file on my computer, but the source is caught up in all sorts of nodes, leafs, words, and whatnot. Is there any easy way to clean up the XML just to get the source?

How exactly do you use that script then? Drag and drop? Terminal?
